Meadow is a clever, curious, and playful ten-year-old girl. With the energy of a dog half her age, she explores, investigates, fetches, and zooms her way through life. She’s 10lbs of fun and love who finds herself looking for a new home after her previous owner could no longer afford to take care of a dog.

Environment

Meadow is fully crate trained and house trained if kept on a consistent routine. She will let you know when she needs to go outside by pacing around. When not in her exercise pen or sleeping in her bed, she is let out every couple of hours. She needs to have ample time to do her business, otherwise she will occasionally do the dachshund thing and poop inside. 

Meadow needs a fenced yard to get her exercise so lots of 1:1 playtime in her own yard will be needed to stimulate her brain and tucker her out. She also enjoys taking long walks on leash and on occasion has been reactive to animals and people she encounters. Her favorite things to play are fetch and tug. She's also been known to help you “recycle” by tearing up her toys and bedding. Her foster mom has found that a long-lasting chew bone will deter this behavior and helps reduce her anxiety. Her new home will need to be one without shared walls as she’s quite communicative at times. Some of this energy likely comes from a place of anxiety and we’re hoping that once she’s settled this will improve. She will need time to adjust to a new home and will need to receive lots of positive encouragement and love to earn your trust.

Pets & People

Meadow loves her people but not new people and will take time to warm up when visitors arrive. However, she will calm down and allow affection after a while. She is fine with older, respectful dogs in her foster home.

Health

Meadow is on anti-anxiety medication and will ideally have people around more often than not to assuage her anxiety.
